Mysterious 'Space Ball' drops on Namibia

A large metallic ball fell out of the sky on a remote grassland in Namibia, prompting baffled authorities to contact NASA and the European space agency. Several such balls have dropped in southern Africa, Australia and Latin America in the past twenty years. Two are see here in this video.

The sphere was discovered mid-November, 2011, but authorities first did tests before announcing the find. Police deputy inspector general Vilho Hifindaka concluded the sphere did not pose any danger. "It is not an explosive device, but rather hollow, but we had to investigate all this first," he said.

Search about the painting of Pieter Coecke. Is the same ball. I want to believe.

@Daniazco great reference! You are talking about the painting "The Holy Trinity" by Pieter Coecke Van Aelst (1527-1559), which shows a very similar orb as the ones that have been coming down in Africa.

@MisO6T9 Yes you're right, satellites don't use fuel tanks but rockets do. There are many rockets that have been in space. Google image search "hydrazine tank". Hydrazine is a component of rocket fuel, and is stored in the rocket in a tank that looks EXACTLY like this orb, down to the two holes on opposite sides and the welding of the two halves. Strange coincidence, huh? Considering how many rockets have been launched into space it's no surprise a few tanks fell out of orbit.

[MisO6T9]

Satellites do not use fuel tanks, they run on solar energy. You know there are no gas stations in orbit just yet.. I doubt that its space junk as most of that burns up on reentry. I think its likely someone's testicle as all the other comments seem to suggest.

[thecasualfly]

Yup.. space junk.. gotta love people who don't use their brain or don't have any logic.

[ryanladdy91]

It's a fucking fuel tank from some rocket that fell from orbit. Calm down, people.

[vogeltik]

How did anyone find it in that open area?

I have just watched a You Tube video of a UFO Museum located in Victoria, Entre Rios, Argentina, where the lady curator was showing to tourists an identical object to this of Namibia, fallen on Argentina in 1991. She showed it to a Russian Cosmonaut because she thought the object was a piece of the Russian Soyuz 7, but the cosmonaut denied it and didn't recognize the part.
